Matthew McConaughey Skinny Photos: Actor Shows Off Shockingly Thin Frame At LAX

Matthew McConaughey's "Magic Mike" days are long gone.

We've watched the once-buff star shrink over the past several months , but the latest photos of the committed actor are even more startling.

McConaughey, 43, is going through the major physical transformation -- a roughly 30-pound weight-loss -- for his forthcoming role in "The Dallas Buyers Club," in which he plays an HIV/AIDS patient.

Im playing a guy who was sick and would have loved to have been healthier but wasnt. For me, its more of a mental thing than a physical thing, McConaughey told Us Weekly in August . Ill get down to the weight I need to get to. Im on my way, and its what I need to do for the job.

Look out for "The Dallas Buyers Club," which also stars Jared Leto and Jennifer Garner, in 2013.
